When you read this,
I will not be the same.
I have let my true form show, this is my last.
Lost in all my guilt, for letting you fall.
Understand it, wasn't me.
But I can't dream, without showing intentions.
As I ask, as I ask, as I ask these questions.
Where were you now I can't see, through your eyes.
I remember the day, the sun went out.
It halted all progression with all its beauty.
It just sacrificed, we fell apart.
Sincerely yours, I've disowned you.
Sincerely yours, I've disowned us.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official POISON THE WELL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
